The Legacy of the 1989 Remington 308 Win Police Sniper

The Remington 308 Win Police Sniper, introduced in 1989, has long been a staple in law enforcement and military applications. Known for its reliability, accuracy, and rugged construction, the 308 Win Police Sniper features a 26-inch heavy barrel threaded 5/8"-24, a configuration that enhances muzzle velocity and accuracy over long distances. The heavy barrel is a critical component for sustained accuracy, reducing barrel whip and heat distortion, which are common issues during extended firing sessions.

Enhanced Optics: 2012 Vortex Optics PST 4-16x50

In 2012, the Vortex Optics PST (Precision Shooting Tactical) 4-16x50 scope was added to this rifle. The PST series is renowned for its high-quality glass, rugged construction, and precise adjustments, making it a favorite among tactical shooters. The 4-16x magnification range is versatile enough for various shooting scenarios, from mid-range engagements to long-distance precision shots. The first focal plane (FFP) scope with a mil-mil reticle ensures that the reticle remains proportionate to the target at all magnifications, allowing for accurate range estimation and holdover corrections at any power setting.
